		<p>Financial formulas help you analyze data,&nbsp;identify the nature of a 
			sequence of observations, and predict future values using historical 
			observations.</p>
		<p>The Chart control provides over&nbsp;thirty technical analysis formulas, such 
					as&nbsp;moving averages, price indicators, volume indicators, 
					oscillators, and forecasting 
					formulas. The figure below shows three series: the input series, the an 
            output series after applying a moving average formula, and an output series 
            after applying a range indicator formula.</p>
